A new study utilizing an unbiased approach to estimate LLM usage in academic writing suggests that by the end of 2025, a significant majority of biomedical publications will show signs of LLM-assisted content. Researchers applied their method to open-access papers from PubMed Central, finding that 89% exhibit an excess of LLM-associated vocabulary. The study also noted that LLMs are more frequently employed in discussion sections compared to methods sections, though even methods sections show over 50% LLM usage. AI
